👨World Class CEO
💵$190MM revenue in 2020

A high quality growth company with massive tailwinds, going the SPAC route to accelerate its vision. Lets go!
⚖️Low risk - long term reward⚖️

▶️ Attractive valuation: ~$3B (low compared to competition)
▶️Low debt, high cash
▶️P/S: ~15X fair for a high growth company
▶️No near term catalysts, just pure execution on vision
▶️Flywheel machine (more data = more 💰)
🧬Business Model🧬

Sema4 has a genomics testing solution for patients, which it leverages to build a repository of real world patient data

They then monetise this database to Pharma & healthcare systems

Would Pharma & healthcare pay for this service

🔥Absolutely🔥
⏲️A brief history lesson⏲️

In 2016, the Congress passed the Cures Act to accelerate medical product development

The Act included a provision for the FDA to create a Real World Evidence (RWE) framework to guide developers in using Real World Data (RWD) for regulatory approval
RWD ⏩ RWE

🔈Real World Data (RWD) are the data relating to patient health status or the delivery of health care routinely collected from a variety of sources

🔈Real World Evidence (RWE) is clinical evidence regarding the usage of medical product derived from analysis of RWD
How does this relate to Sema4? Hang in there, it will make sense

Pharma companies see massive value in RWE/RWD

Study by Deloitte surveying pharma reveals:

✅ 94% believe RWE will be very important by 2022
✅Almost all companies expect to increase external partnerships for RWD
🌬️Unprecedented tailwinds🌬️

1⃣All Pharma companies now believe RWD is important
2⃣The FDA is now pushing for the use of RWD
3⃣RWE is derived from analysing RWD
4⃣Pharmas are constantly searching for high quality data sources

Who has the best clinical data?

Enter Sema4
📊How much Real World Data does Sema4 have?📊

🔥10+ million patient records
🔥5 million records w/ longitudinal clinical data
🔥300K patient genomic data
.. and growing

🤖Information stored & processed inside its Centrellis engine which uses machine learning to derive insights
🚨Flywheel alert🚨

Sema4 collects clinical data from patients & other sources

..the data is fed into the Centrellis engine which generates insights for client use in trials, models

..which then creates enhanced data that is fed back into Centrellis

we like a good flywheel 🎡
This is where it gets fun..

Combine the demand for Real World Data with Centrellis and you get a business that compounds data like Buffet compounds his investments

The more customers use Sema4, the better the data will be for future customers and the wheel keeps spinning
I see two main customers: health systems & Pharma companies

For health systems, the value proposition is simple: offer actionable insights at every stage of the patient journey

The value Sema4 provides is the ability to personalise insights which could help identify risks
For Pharma companies, Sema4 has a smorgasbord of solutions.

In general, Sema4 adds value to Pharma's who need to use its intelligence to:
🧬De-risk drug development
🧬Reduce developmental costs
🧬Improve patient selectivity
🧬Increase speed to market

and so on..
📈Sema4's growth strategy📈

The base: revenue from genomics testing

The core: providing data-driven insights to improve the outcomes for Pharma & health systems

The aspiration: potentially a consumer play that matches patients to healthcare solutions and services (fascinating)
🧑‍💼The numbers🧑‍💼

💵2020 rev: 190M
💵2021 exp rev: 265M (38% increase)
⚖️2020 gross margin: 22% (healthy)
⚖️2021 exp grosss margin: 32%

To achieve this, $CMLF needs to expand into other markets outside of women's health and increase the number/size of partnerships. Watch closely
🗺️What is Sema4's TAM🗺️

This is a tricky one to size (in a good way), Sema4 is pulling so many things together in an unprecedented way that it is difficult to see their ceiling

To use their own sizing: they estimate a $643B total addressable market

Their valuation is ~$3B
Where does their valuation stand amongst competitors?

$NVTA:$7.3B
$NTRA: $8.9B
$GH: $15.5B
$EXAS: $21B
$ADPT: $5.5B

$CMLF: $3B

I think its only crime is that it is underreported and it just missed the post Covid-19 Genomics mini bull run. There is a fair deal to be had here
🕺Leadership🕺

It would be remiss of me not to mention the world class CEO: Eric Schadt Ph.D.

Dean for Precision Medicine at Mount Sinai
Fr Head of Genomics, Merck
Fr CSO $PACB
Founder at Sage Bionetworks
Chief Scientist at Rosetta Inpharmatics

You want him on your team
⚠️As usual, I will lay out the main risks⚠️

⚔️Sema4's vision is admittedly messy and they need to hone in on key areas to win clients
⚔️Growth will slow if they are unable to expand past Women's Health
⚔️No catalysts, just execution - if not stellar, investors will not buy
⚖️Conclusion⚖️

$CMLF is an attractive, longer term play built on:
🔥Powerful FDA, Pharma RWD tailwinds
🔥A compounding flywheel of a data platform
🔥Strong value for health systems and Pharma
🔥Fair valuation especially amongst competitors
🔥Leadership and investment pedigree
